On the first extravehicular exit of the STS - 126 mission on 18 November 2008, the astronaut let him escape, becoming a space debris. 18 Nov. 2008 - An extravehicular activity (EVA) tool bag drifts away from the International Space Station during the mission's first scheduled spacewalk for STS - 126. About halfway into the spacewalk, one of the grease guns that astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn - Piper (out of frame), mission specialist, was preparing to use on the SARJ released some Braycote grease into her crew lock bag, which is the tool bag the spacewalkers use during their activities. As she was cleaning the inside of the bag, it drifted away from her and toward the aft and starboard portion of the International Space Station. Inside the bag were two grease guns, scrapers, several wipes and tethers and some tool caddies / Bridgeman Images
